Solar Eclipse

Hello Dear Readers,
I usually stay pretty up to date on the happenings in the universe, local and in general.  But things in Kevin's Crossing have kept me so preoccupied lately that I was caught unaware when a relatively large scale event took place in our solar system.  A solar eclipse!  An event where the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sun's light, turning day into night, albeit briefly.  A perfect setting for all sorts of shenanigans to take place!
I found myself completely unprepared to document this event.  When I asked Robyn why she didn't mention it to me, she shrugged and said she thought I was on it.
But I digress, let's go over all the strange happenings reported by the citizens of Kevin's Crossing during the solar eclipse yesterday.  The most exciting of which I will save for last.  The return of someone who has not graced this blog for far too long.  None of these reports are from me since I was taking a nap at the time.
·         Ziggy's Mini Mart - nothing.  Apparently, Ziggy's closes down preemptively whenever there is a celestial event on the calendar.  Good for them!
·         Stop signs on Bloomberg St changed to Cyrillic, then changed back.
·         Strange smells were noticed near the intersection of Pennyworth and March.  Could not get clarification on what type of smells.
·         No one in the Walker family, a family with long roots in Kevin’s Crossing, were able to see the eclipse.  I need to follow up and find out what they saw in its place.
·         An eight-year-old boy, names Bandon, sneezed out a live grasshopper.  There are no corroborating witnesses and the source is far from reliable.
·         Several dozen people all across town reported seeing a soft blue point of light in the sky where no known celestial body is located.
·         My favorite local radio station KMO 9.92 switched over to a mysterious number station.  A monotone voice began repeating the numbers 8-32-14 in Polish.  I had to look it up!  Polish numbers again!
Now, last, but certainly not least.  The long-awaited return of Jak-Jak!  Over a dozen people reported sightings.  Most of these claimed to see him running quickly across lawns and streets, with a look of determination on his face.  I wonder where he was going.  All of these sightings occurred at the same time but all over town.  This may be the largest number of Jak-Jak sightings at one time that I am aware of.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t give us much new information.  Though it is always good to know that Jak-Jak is out there, doing his thing!


            Until next time, I’ll try to keep better up to date on celestial occurrences and I’ll keep you updated.

Quick Update - Future

Hello Dear Readers, Part 1 I didn’t think I’d have new information about that contents of the almanac so soon.  But I do!  Most unexpectedly I got an email from Jan March!  Apparently, it is that time of the month!  Hooray for menstrual cycles!  She says that she still isn’t sure about sharing her journals with me but that she had a vision with pressing information.  This vision filled her such a sense of dread and foreboding that she contacted me as soon as she woke up!             Her vision was about the destruction of Kevin’s Crossing!  In it, she saw the town underwater with torrential rain.  Then everything began to shake and the ground split open and more water came out!  In water dark shaped could be seen swimming out of the cracks in the earth.  She didn’t know what they were, but she said she could feel their hostile intent.             This dream/vision mirrors the events in the 1887 Newton Almanac so closely as to make me extremely nervous.  While disastrous and

Idenitity of the Vandal

Hello Dear Readers, Today I received a shocking email from my friend Yusuf!  It’s been a while since I’ve seen or heard from him. Vic had told he’s doing much better since the last time we met.  Turns out its true!  Apparently, there’s something that he feels I needed to know. His email contained only a single link to an article from the Kevin's Crossing Herald, the charming local newspaper.  When I began reading it my breath caught in my chest.  The article said that the identity of the young man killed in a hit and run accident several weeks ago (the Vandal!) had been determined!  Though the identity of the driver of the car is still unknown (frowny face). Before going any further, I must tell you, dear readers, this was very difficult to read.  It re-ignites many emotions I had thought I’d put to rest.  The death of the Vandal, may he live forever in the sun, was very hard on me.  Since then I’ve buried myself in my research (and snack cakes).  This information re-opens t

Petroglyphs

Hello Dear Readers, So, becoming known in town for an interested in the strange and unusual has continued to be a mixed blessing.  On one hand, people are far more willing to talk to me about things now, on the other hand, people know who I am and want to talk to me all the time.  Recently I was contacted by way of email. It was Tim, the teenager from Historical Society. Fortunately, he and his friends have not yet tried to play the elevator game.  They invited me to a secret place somewhere in woods outside of town to show me something he thinks I will find interesting. (Susan, remember when we were kids and we used to go into the woods and eat mushrooms, until the incident with Henry Burrows?  May he live forever in the sun.) Apparently, they have rocks they think I should see. Well, rock does beat scissors. Again I fear being taken out into the middle of nowhere and hunted for sport. But if that is the price that I must pay for mystery, then so be it! So Tim picked me up
